This is the weekend! Pour a mug of Columbia Trimaros Brassil Pea Berry Organic Coffee, grab a seat outside and prepare for a long format weekend read:
• “Mozart of the Economy of Attention”: Why Mrbeast is the world’s largest YouTube star: He soaked in slime for 24 hours, buried alive for two days, showering huge amounts of cash on lucky participants.

• What is the behavioral gap and how can investors close it? Most of us can’t avoid the decision challenges that Blight invests in by going for 30 years without touching the portfolio. This may be a sensible approach, but such stoicism is a completely unrealistic expectation for most people I have encountered. (Action Investment))
• Ukrainian drone strikes are not just an attack – it’s a war of first person media: Within hours of Ukrainian drone strike at Russian airfields, videos of the attack spread to news outlets and social media. (Barge))
• Law firms that appease Trump and angered clients: After companies attacked transactions to avoid punitive executive orders, some major clients decided to take on the business elsewhere. (Wall Street Journal))
• Most new cars in Norway are EVs. How Freezing Countries beat range anxiety. In 2024, almost 90% of new passenger cars for sale in Norway were fully electric. Of the cars sold last month, the share of EVs was 97%. In comparison, last year’s EVs accounted for 8% of new car sales in the US, 13% in the eurozone and 27% in China. “What happened” in Norway? Dragland said. “The government has happened.”Washington Post))

• Search for young skin for 70 year old men: Can an “antiarzing” product aimed at women reversal part of the damage years the sun and surgery did on my face? (Wall Street Journal))
• Nobel Prize winners we think are all wrong: Cosmicologists fight for everything. (Atlantic Ocean))
• We must consider whether the Pacers have an agreement with Belzebub himself. For about 47 minutes it seemed that the game had nothing but Thunder’s victory. All of these previous series questions began to feel very fast, very fast, about whether the Pacers’ chaos attack could somehow undermine the brutal attack defense of lightning. (dfector))
